What Do You See for 2026? | 28th Dec. 2025 | Sermon by Rev. Emmanuel Ajuwon

As the curtain falls on 2025 and we stand on the threshold of a new year, many of us are reflecting on the past twelve months—what worked, what didn't, the losses we endured, and the gains we celebrated. Businesses are closing their books, families are gathering for holidays, and individuals are setting resolutions. But God is posing a far more profound question to us today:

Not “What did you experience in 2025?”

But “What do you see for 2026?”

Key Scriptures

Let’s ground ourselves in the Word. In Jeremiah 1:10-12 (NIV):

“See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”

The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?”

“I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied.

The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.”

And in Genesis 13:14-16 (NIV), after Abram separated from Lot:

The Lord said to Abram... “Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.”

These passages, along with the stories in Genesis 14 (Abram’s bold rescue of Lot) and Genesis 16 (God’s encounter with Hagar, naming Him “The God Who Sees”), reveal a powerful principle: Vision shapes destiny.

The Power of Vision

Write this down:

Seasons do not change destinies—vision does.

Time passes, years turn, but without corrected sight, there is no real progress. Many will step into 2026 carrying the same blurred perspective from 2025, expecting automatic breakthroughs. It doesn’t work that way.

Every new year is like an open scroll—a fresh chapter waiting to be written. But only those who see clearly will step into it with purpose.

God asked Jeremiah, “What do you see?” Jeremiah saw an almond branch—a symbol of God’s watchful readiness to fulfill His word. God replied, “You have seen well—I will hasten to perform it.”

In the same way, God instructed Abram to lift his eyes and look in every direction. “All the land you see,” God promised, “I will give to you and your descendants.”

The question echoing from heaven today is the same:

What do you see?

Spiritual Laws of Vision

Here are some timeless truths from Scripture:

1. All you can see is all you can dominate.

2. All you can become is tied to what you can envision.

3. Your dominion expands only as far as your vision.

4. What you have not visualized cannot become your possession.

5. A leader unaware of the full extent of his territory will lose ground.

6. The more you see, the more you possess.

7. Every person’s inheritance is limited by the boundaries of their sight.

Abraham saw beyond his circumstances. God later took him outside and said, “Look up at the stars—so shall your offspring be” (Genesis 15:5). If you see nothing, you inherit nothing. If you see defeat, sickness, or stagnation, that’s what you’ll experience. It’s a spiritual law.

But God declares: As far as you can see in faith, that’s how far you will go in 2026.

• See prosperity where lack once ruled.

• See elevation and promotion.

• See restoration in broken areas.

• See yourself influencing kings and decision-makers.

• See divine favor opening doors.

• See yourself as a pillar of strength in your family.

Biblical Examples of Right Seeing

David didn’t see a giant threatening Israel—he saw an uncircumcised Philistine defying God, like a stray dog to be dealt with.

Joseph envisioned sheaves and stars bowing before him. The how wasn’t his concern; the vision came first.

And in Mark 8:22-26, Jesus healed a blind man in two stages. After the first touch, the man said, “I see people, but they look like trees walking.” Jesus touched him again, and he saw clearly.

Some of us are like that man—our vision for the future is partial, distorted. We need a second touch from the Lord to see 2026 with crystal clarity.

A Call to Clear Vision

Today, lift your hands and declare:

• I see victory in 2026!

• I see progress and breakthrough!

• I see promotion and divine acceleration!

• I see God’s favor surrounding me!

Reject blurred vision. Refuse to carry 2025’s limitations forward.

What do you see?

See big. See God’s promises. See yourself walking in the fullness of what He has prepared.

Because as far as your faith-filled eyes can see—that’s how far God will take you in the year ahead.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
